A MONOPOLY DEFEATED.


A Victory for mississippi Cotton Planters.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. 2S:-The cot
ton planters along the Mississippi river
have won a victory over the American
Cotton Oil Trust Company. Yesterday
the price OF cotton seed on the river
baLh was ruissd 20 50 per ton near
Vicksburg, $3.50 Near New Orleans, 81 so
on tributary streams, s. at railroad Ste
lions. This is not Is good q price as
formerly prevailed when the seed
averaged from $40 to Sl2 per tor,
but il is e hig advance on the
rate the Oil Trust Company has
been lately paying. Wren, upon
the opening of the cotton season this
year, it was found that the Oil
Trust Company had secured almost COM
plete control of the cotton-ssed mills
il was announced that it would pursue q
policy of forcing down prices of raw me-
teriaI, cotton seed, and force up thst Of
the products, and that il would control
the industry with an iron hand. A large
number Of planters determined 70 resist
the pool and the result of their efforts has
been the decrease 10 = rate OF 40 per
cent. on the supply of cotton seed, a con-
dition OF affairs that has. it is asserted,
forced the Trust Company to concede
substantial advance.

TEXAS is breaking up its gang of train
robbers and Boston, IN Massachusetts, is
breaking up its gang of "juvenile horse
thieves which has been stealing horses
and sleighs." Thieves and murderers
abound in all climates and sections, and
are indigenous to none, exclusively. OPP
portunities and conditions may develop
the particular form in which crime ex-
presses itself, but the criminal instinct
is not hedged by sectional boundaries
In Texas thieves rob trains and stages,
in Massachusetts they rob stores, hotels,
banks and private homes; in Texas
1t is "stsnd and deliver" in New
England it is default and ske-
daddle; in Texas men suffer,
in the east conflding women and chill
dren depositors are ruined. In the south
men kill men; in the north men not only
kill men, but they vary the performance
by killing women. For every man slain
in the south there has been woman MUIR
dered in the north. In the south, crime
is open, fiagrant; in the north, it is cow
ardly, sneaking. In the south is sparse
population and boldness and freedom
from restraint; in the north, is popula-
ton, the refinement of contact and its
hypocrisy as well, with the cowardice of

BUCKET-SHoPS CAN BE SPARED

BUChE I-SHOPS CAN DE SPdREU.
Pathetic appeals are going up to the
Legislature in behalf of the "bucket-
shop" system. These appeals do not
come from the rank and file of the peo-
pie, but from the towDs where bucket
shops are in existence. With almost as
much propriety, petitions might be sent
in asking for repeal OF the laws against
gambling. Divested of its semi-respect-
sble mask, the bucket-shop is after all
nothing more or less than q gambling
house. The men who risk their money in
the bncket-shop operations are gambling,
just as much as the men who bet at faro,
monte or any other game or device of
chance. When men at q race-course
wager money on the speed and endurance
of horse there is some basis for the
risk, for there is something tangible on
which to form an estimate. The record
made by horse in previous races, his
build, his movements, are all matters OF
Judgment, and csn all be taken into &C
count. Betting on q horse race, how
ever, is considered, and, we dare say
properly, as species of gambling. In
bucket-shop operations it is all chance;
the operators Judgment is in no wise q
factor in the outcome, and he VINO in
vests risks his money full as reCklessly IS
the man who puts up money on the turn
of a card. Why, as a matter of morals
or of fact should the bucket shop be put
on higher plane than the faro room
and given certificate of Responsibility?
The GAZETTE disclaims any prejudice
against the bucket-ghop system, but must
enter protest against the plea that the
system has any right to be classed as a
legitimate business, and as part and par
cei of the business system of the coun-
try. There is not legitimate business
interest that will suffer because of the
suppression of bocket-shops, but there
are q great many business men who
would be better of with the
closed. AS long as
they exist they Will offer temptations to |
men who have not the means to take the |
risks that must of necessity be encoun-
.ered in the buying or selling of futures.
They wean men away from the safe, con-
'ervatiye methods of making money and
loing business. In every town where
Fort Worth weekly gazette. [volume] (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-02-04

there is bucket-shop there may be found
men who, not content with time-honored
business methods, have taken money that
should have been used in their business,
risked it in futures aud lost This is the
key to a large percentage of the failures and
business wrecks that are occurring all the
time. The game, like faro, is fascinating.
II the operator is successful in his first
venture he keeps on, and inevitably there
comes the turn OF "luck," for it is all
luck. If be loses ct the outset, there is
the hope of retrieving by the nextventure,
and in either event it is ultimate mis-
fortune for seven out of ten oper-
ators. Tie system is pernicious,
and there IS not the semblance
of SQUAD, valid excuse for its continu-
aace. Il is heartily detested by class
who constitute the bone and sinew I'VE
mean the farmers Of the country. They
believe, and all The logic of bucket-shop
advocates cannot convince them to the
contrary, that dealing in futures has
tendency to interfere with the just values
OF iarm products. If there We're no other
grounds on which to oppose the bucket
shop, the dread and disgust OF the farmers
for the system would be sufficient argu-
ment for dispensing with it. All IN all, it
is just as well and better that the bucket
shop shall go, so far as Texas is con-
Cerned.

A GREAT ICE GORGE.
An Immense Gorge Of lee in the Sus-
suehanna X YER Opposite Port
Deposit, Md.
The Greater Portion of the Town Under
Three Feet OF water-Psople Flee
ing for Their LIyee.

| PORT DEPOSIT, Mp, Jan. 28.-The ice
| in the Susquehanna north Of Port Deposit
began breaking up at 2:3O O'Clock yester-
day afternoon and riiing up opposite this
place, which forced the water back on the
town in frigh full msnner. In thirty
minutes the water had attained a depth
OF from five to six feet on Main street,
running with swift curren7, carrying
with il ice, fences, lumber and debris
generally All the residences on the low
er side OF Main street, with few exc D.
ions, were flooded with from three to
! five feet of water on the first floors. Not
more than three or four families living
on that side rem4iGed in their houses last
night. At sill hours during the night
boats could DE seen rowing up and down
Main street moving people as the water
invaded their homes. n possible con-
cepti0n can ne formed Cf the loss and
d6structloc Of last nights flood. At day
/ break this morning the foOd had SUI
sided, hut at O'Clock it began to rise
again slowly, reaching the highest POINT
st O'Clock this afternoon, sud at ESQ
there was slight movement in the ice
srd the water rose several feet, doing
large amount OF damage to light struct-
Ures. An unsuccessful attempt was made
to break the ice gorge with dynsmite,
but sitter some hours hard work the
scheme was abandoned. Reports from
up the river are that heavy ice
is coming down il Immense guam
titles. That the worst is not
yet over is the general suppOsition
and should the gorge opposite this place
continue to resist the ACCOMMODATING
pressure from above, the final result can
not be conjectured, and the suspense is
fearful. Trains on the Columbus ard
Port Deposit Railway c"nnOt approach
nearer than mile on either side of the
town, as the track is covered with ice.
Wetchmen will be on the lookout all
night to give warning in case there is any
further rise in the river. Reports from
McCalps Ferry, Pa, twenty-tbTee miles
north of here, and Celora, Md,
four miles north, advise that
the ice is passing through
very rapidly ana the water is rising. 1t
is impossible to conjecture how it will
terminate at Port Deposit. The body Of
ice in the mouth of the river shows no
evidence of breaking, while the mass Of
ice from 6bOve continues to pour in and
accumulate here. The hills back of Port
Deposit are thronSed with sightseers from
the country and adjoining towns.

HIGH LICENSE AGAIN..

4 few days ago THE GAZETTE gave
some figures illustrative of what high
| license, as applied to the liquor traffic,
| had accomplished in the state of Missouri.
The success which the high license system
has met in Missouri should encourage
| Senator Simkins to persevere with his
measure, in the same line, now pending
IN the Texas Legislature. It does not
matter that prohibitOry amendment will
be voted on in Texas this year. If the
people declare Tor prohibition, of course
the opponents of the latter measure will
accept such result gracefully and cheer
fully. But il the people negative the pro-
hibitorv proposition (as THE GAZETTE
believes they will do, then liquor
traffic law will be as much necessity as
ever, and one like that proposed by Sena.
tor Simkins will be q decided improve
ment on the existing system. Under the
Simkins bill state license for saloons will
be $1,000 per annum, which will be sup
plemented and increased by county and
municipal taxes, making q license in
large city cost perhaps as much as $1,000,
for state, county and city, a year. Mr..
Simkins' bill also requires saloon men to
enter into $4,000 bond not to sell to minors
or habituaI drunkards or to allow variety
theaters on their premises. It's highly
commemorate measure, and as evidence
that is en- rapport with the advanced
moral sentiment of the times it may be
stated that on the same day Mr.. Sim
kins introduced his bill in the Texas Leg
islature an technically similar measure
was introduced IN the General Assembly
of New York, anG that, too, with the ap-
probation and Endorsement of the Min
isters' and Churches Union Of New York
state, which declared high license to be
the rue and most hopeful solution of the
liquor traffic problem. By all means let
Senator Simkins persevere with his bill
until it is made law.

A BILL for the regulation OF prison Ia
Dor, which prohibits convicts learning any
useful trade or obtaining knowledge OF
machinery, wonld oe better eatitled bill
to foster crime and perpetuate 9enitentia-
ries. Il there be any good resulting
from incarceration Il must spring from
training those who have lived idle and
dissolute lives in HABITS of industry and
virtue. The members of the working
mems assembly from which this bill is
said to have emanated, are certainly aetu-
ated by selfish motives, and by these
have become blinded to the general good.
From financial basis such measure
would be fraught with evil, as few OF the
workingmen of the country would be
willing to meet an increased taxation
which would inevitably result from re
stricting the industries of convicts to
mere manual labor, as this would render
it impossible for penitentiaries 60 ever
become self-supporting.

other liquor license in proportion. Should

the number of liquor shops considerably,
wiping out entirely the low doggeries

as an effectual local option law in all

there are no organized police to preserve

that it gives monopoly to few men.

THE MINERS CARRY THE DAY.
a Rich New York Banker Pays for His
Sons Mine Investment.


HELENA, NJ. It, Jan. 29-Hon. \. G.
SeIigman, son of Jesse Seligman, the
rich New York banker who was held SIS
hostage by 800 miners at the Gregory
mines twenty five miles from here, was
released last night upon arranging with
the miners for the payment of their back
wages. When the other members of
Seligman's party, Messrs. Z. W. Balch
and General Manager Childs, were re-
leased by the exasperated miners they
proceeded to this city, bringing with
them telegram from Seligman 10 his
father in New York, telling the latter that
if the company did not pay the men he
would not answer for the consequences
for the protection OF property or himself.
The amount involved was S75,-
900. j. & w. Seligman ere the largest
stockholders. They Immediately tele-
graphed the money to Helena, and A. j.
SeIigman was released ut midnight on
message sent TO the men by Governor
HOuser guaranteeing the payment of the
money As soon as the miners deteI-
mined upon Selling Selgman they ap-
pointed 8 commit, and detailed guards
to close every saloon in the camp. Sc
ligman was to be treated with the utmost
respect and courtesy. He was paroled
and allowed the freedom Of the camp on
his word Of honor that he would not
leave until the payment had been made.
